Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Mince one of the Garlic (1 clove) .

Step 2

Slice 1/4 inch off of each end of the Lime (1) and cut it in half, lengthwise. Juice one of the halves and set the other cut side-down​​ on the cutting board. Slice it at an angle, lengthwise to make lime wedges and set aside.

Step 3

Sauté Sweet Potato (1) in a greased skillet over medium heat until they start to brown a bit. I like to use spray olive oil to keep the amount of oil down.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and the Black Beans (1 can) . Cook until the beans are heated through and the garlic has cooked.

Step 5

Add Low-Fat Coconut Milk (1/4 cup) , Cayenne Pepper (1/4 tsp) , and Ground Cumin (1 tsp) . Mix well. Turn the heat down to low to keep the filling warm if you’re not quite ready to serve yet. This will also give the flavors a chance to mesh together.

Step 6

To make the Carrot and Kale Slaw, add the Kale (1 cup) and Carrot (1/2) to a large bowl. Add Lime Juice and 1/2 teaspoon of Sesame Oil (1/2 Tbsp) to the bowl. Toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

To make the Peanut Sauce, cut the Jalapeño Pepper (1) in half and remove the seeds. Place the Peanut Butter (1/4 cup) , jalapeno, a Garlic (1 clove) , juice from the rest of the lime, Low-Fat Coconut Milk (2 Tbsp) and a tablespoon of water in the food processor. Pulse until the jalapeño and garlic are chopped up and everything is well mixed together and incorporated.

Step 8

Warm the Small Corn Tortillas (10) by placing them in a pan over high heat for about 10 seconds on each side.

Step 9

Put the sweet potato and black beans mixture in first, top with slaw and peanut sauce, and garnish with a few bits of Fresh Cilantro (to taste) . Serve with Lime Wedge and enjoy!
